SEPARATOR AND NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator has a short circuit prevention effect improved by controlling the shape of a dendrite. In the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator, when unevenness data of at least one surface of the separator is analyzed, kurtosis of a data group of heights from a reference level is not less than 5, and standard deviation of the data group of the heights from the reference level is not more than 12.
